Formula Manipal is a Manipal Academy of Higher Education-based on a student project which aims to design, build and test a Formula-style race car. It started as an abstract idea in 2007, and today it has become the largest and most successful student initiative of Manipal University. The team consists of over sixty inter-disciplinary undergraduates who aim to conceive, design, fabricate, develop, and compete with Formula style vehicles at International Formula Student events.
